Platform's policy prompts troll from KickTwitch recently tried to introduce changes to its policy regarding branded content and the display of advertisements during streams. One notable change was the requirement that streamers could only allocate up to 3% of their screen for displaying ads. Furthermore, the new policy would have prohibited streamers from promoting burnt-in ads within their live streams.These changes could have had a significant impact on streamers and esports events. For instance, Valorant has a partnership with eBay. During intermissions and breaks between Valorant broadcasts, eBay ads are played. However, under the new policy, this practice would have been disallowed.Twitch, however, apologized to the community, acknowledging their decision to backtrack on the aforementioned policy changes. They wrote:Twitch@TwitchYesterday, we released new Branded Content Guidelines that impacted your ability to work with sponsors to increase your income from streaming. These guidelines are bad for you and bad for Twitch, and we are removing them immediately.470734371Yesterday, we released new Branded Content Guidelines that impacted your ability to work with sponsors to increase your income from streaming.
